 Even though these dogs are either no longer with us, or are too old to be active in my breeding program, they are important to note because they are in the pedigrees of most of "Todays Children" on the farm.
I am VERY proud of these dogs, they are "the foundation" of "Swiss Star Farms." 
CH VOMBREITERWEG'S SWISS LACE - "Lacey" The "Queen" of Swiss Star Farms.
Lacey, bred to Jack produced 4 Champions in her first litter, including 2 time BISS Winner "CH. Swiss Star's Blue Baron".
At almost ten years of age, 4 of the original litter either won, or placed in the Veterans class, & Veterans Sweeps at the BMDCA Nationals in Arizona in 1999.
Two of this litter died at 10 years of age and the other five remain alive at one month shy of 11 years old.  In Memory of: AM / CAN / MEX / UCI / FCI / INT. CH.Dallybeck's Echo Jackson CD,NDD,CGC,HCC Old Dog In A LocketOld Dog in a locket
That lays next to my heart
I will always love you
As I did right from the start. You were right beside me
Through the darkest of my days
It was your kind and gentle nature
That made me want to stay. Now I hold you in my arms
Your breath still warm against my hand
Our hearts still beat together
And I wonder if you understand. Through the hours that I held you,
Before the light did leave your soul
I knew a way to keep you
Forever in my hold.
I snipped the hair from around your eyes
So I would always see
The beauty that surrounds me
Even in times of need. I snipped the hair from around your ears
So I would always hear
Music in the distance
To quiet any fears I snipped the hair from across your back
To bring me strength in time of need
And that Power of your essence
Would always be with me. I snipped the hair from around your heart
That beat in time with mine
So love would know to find me
At some other distant time... And so, your life slipped out of mine
On a quiet spring like day
But I knew that a part of you
Was always here to stay. Old dog in a locket
That lays next to my heart
I will always love you
